November 16, 2010

I wandered through one of my local favourites after some of the epic rain we have had lately. I understand in Fundy National Park they received over 325 mm in a few days. That is a lot of water. In this, the dark season the colours are browns, straw and beige’s, except for the coniferous […]

Nordic walking on the ski trail

November 4, 2010

If you read my last post you will know I stopped and did of a bit of a re-think of where I was at. The other half of that re-think was to take stock of the outdoor assets in my community. I was thinking where would I be cross-country skiing mid-week. Well, I had forgotten […]
